Roof Protection

The theft of lead from church roofs is now one of the most rapidly spiraling crimes due to the increasing price in cost of the metal. The replacement costs for any church due to the theft of lead including the repair to the damage caused during the theft is proving very difficult for churches to manage often running into tens of thousands of pounds.

Scope
Depending on the scope of the system, any one system can:

  Provide a sensible level of protection of the most vulnerable areas.
  Be sufficiently sensitive to offer protection with the minimum of unwanted
   alarms
  Be fully monitored.
  On alarm, give a local audible alarm and communicate to an approved
   alarm receiving centre using either a land line or a GSM connection.
  Be easily reset by non technical persons after an alarm.
  Be easily set and unset using proximity fobs.
  Be installed in sympathy with the building aesthetics but not at the expense    of its efficient operation.
  Be installed and commissioned to comply wherever possible to BS4737:    
   Part 1 but not necessarily in every respect in order to minimise costs.

Specification
External security systems can consist of a combination of the following items as appropriate:-

  Beam type PIR mounted on the reverse of the roof parapet
  Point type PIR wall mounted at high level.
  Vibration type detector mounted on the roof and hidden from normal view.
  Monitored Fast Guard loop where resetting can be easily achieved without
   risk to attendees.
  Control equipment located in a protected area and having 24 hour battery    back up on mains failure.
  Key pad sited at a convenient location for the setting and unsetting of the    alarm.
